DIY MCB replacementWorried by the review of 'Anonymous - Wirral'. The MCB should be rated to protect the cable and accessories which form the circuit. If too high a capacity MCB is installed without verifying that the circuit can handle it there is a real risk of the cable overheating under load and catching fire. At a 40 amp load (9-10kw shower would get you there) you should be looking at 6mm sq T&E minimum and that assumes the cable is installed in free air.. If in a wall or conduit it would have to be 10mm sq minimum. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician to take a look.

Hi, thank you for your product enquiry.BG Electrical has not had any GE Series E MCBs or Consumer Units in for testing or comparison so we cannot say with any certainty whether their devices are the same dimensions or have the same terminal configuration as ours, therefore we are unable to guarantee that this device would be a suitable replacement for your current 32A GE model.

Hi, thank you for your product enquiry.All BG Electrical Consumer Unit Devices have been designed and tested to work together with each other, but have not been tested with other manufacturers' devices or in their enclosures so we cannot say whether this would be suitable or not.Also, BG Electrical does not warrant other manufacturers' devices fitted into our Consumer Units and this may be the case with other manufacturers so it would be a good idea to check with Wylex before installing a 3rd party device in their enclosure.
